Machine learning potentials have emerged as a means to enhance the accuracy of biomolecular simulations. However, their application is constrained by significant computational cost arising from vast number parameters compared with traditional molecular mechanics. To tackle this issue, we introduce an optimized implementation hybrid method (NNP/MM), which combines neural network potential (NNP) and mechanics (MM). This approach models portion system, such small molecule, using NNP while...
Structure-based drug discovery methods exploit protein structural information to design small molecules binding given pockets. This work proposes a purely data driven, structure-based approach for imaging ligands as spatial fields in target We use an end-to-end deep learning framework trained on experimental protein-ligand complexes with the intention of mimicking chemist's intuition at manually placing atoms when designing new compound. show that these models can generate images ligand...
Abstract For many decades virtual screening methods have provided a convenient and cost effective in silico solution the early stages of drug discovery. In particular, molecular docking uses structural information to approximate protein–ligand recognition, providing valuable for large chemical libraries at fast pace with multiple success stories validate approach. Nevertheless, turnaround results required assumptions approximations which compromise accuracy these algorithms. On other side...
Mutations in the human PURA gene cause neurodevelopmental syndrome. In contrast to several other monogenetic disorders, almost all reported mutations this nucleic acid-binding protein result full disease penetrance. study, we observed that patient across impair its previously co-localization with processing bodies. These either destroyed folding integrity, RNA binding, or dimerization of PURA. We also solved crystal structures N- and C-terminal PUR domains combined them molecular dynamics...

Deep learning has been successfully applied to structure-based protein–ligand affinity prediction, yet the black box nature of these models raises some questions. In a previous study, we presented KDEEP, convolutional neural network that predicted binding given complex while reaching state-of-the-art performance. However, it was unclear what this model learning. work, present new application visualize contribution each input atom prediction made by network, aiding in interpretability such...
Machine learning (ML) is a promising approach for predicting small molecule properties in drug discovery. Here, we provide comprehensive overview of various ML methods introduced this purpose recent years. We review wide range properties, including binding affinities, solubility, and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity). discuss existing popular datasets molecular descriptors embeddings, such as chemical fingerprints graph-based neural networks. highlight also...
Abstract The serotonin 5‐hydroxytryptamine 2A (5‐HT ) receptor is a G‐protein‐coupled (GPCR) relevant for the treatment of CNS disorders. In this regard, neuronal membrane composition in brain plays crucial role modulation functioning. Since cholesterol an essential component membranes, we have studied its effect on 5‐HT dynamics through all‐atom MD simulations. We find that presence increases conformational variability most segments. Importantly, detailed structural analysis indicates goes...

Abstract G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in numerous physiological processes and the most frequent targets of approved drugs. The explosion number new 3D molecular structures GPCRs (3D-GPCRome) during last decade has greatly advanced mechanistic understanding drug design opportunities for this protein family. While experimentally-resolved undoubtedly provide valuable snapshots specific GPCR conformational states, they give only limited information on their flexibility...
